Who does not know mushrooms?
We have known mushrooms in everyday life though not as good as other plants. That's because the fungus only grows at a certain time, on certain conditions that support and the length of life is limited. For example, many mushrooms appear in the rainy season on decayed wood, litter, or haystack. However, this fungus will die soon after the dry season arrives.
Along with the development of science and technology, humans have been able to cultivate mushrooms in an artificial medium, such as mushrooms, oyster mushrooms and ear mushrooms. Well, surely all have seen mushroom? But there are still many who do not understand the definition, for that it's good if we are together with the review below.
Understanding Mushrooms
Fungus is a single or multiple-celled eukaryotic organism with no chlorophyll. Fungal cells have walls composed of chitin. Because of its properties are in the classification of living things. Fungi are separated in their own kingdom and are not included in the kingdoms of protists, monera or plantae. Because it is not chlorophyll, the fungus belongs to heteroids (obtaining food from other organisms).
Mushrooms take their food by arborexin from the environment and can develop well with spores. Mushrooms (fungi) are found in the environment around the fertile plants, especially in the rainy season, because the fungus likes the habitat where it is moist. But mushrooms can be found in all places where there is organic matter. A branch of biology studying the fungus is called mycology. Fungi are the unicellular and multicellular.
